A frequency scanning receiver minimizes the time needed for setting the frequency of a phased lock loop of a first local oscillator. The frequency scanning receiver is configured so that when the reference frequency of the PLL of the first local oscillator has been set at a high frequency, and the frequency error is less than the second IF, the frequency error is controlled to be zero by the control circuit switching the frequency of a second local oscillator or third local oscillator to an appropriate frequency using an output of a frequency discriminator.

Frequency scanning receiver permitting quick PPL setting

A character input method enables mistake of character input to be diminished, and it is unnecessary to use a rotary type switch in the character input method, therefore it is economical. In a frequency scanning type receiver, when it causes character input to be performed according to a key board section, respective numeric-keys 1 to 0 of 10-key correspond to a plurality of character groups consisting of capital letter, small letter of an alphabet, and numerals arranged in accordance with prescribed order to be determined. CPU/memory section selects the corresponding character group according to a numeric-key which is pressed firstly, next, the CPU/memory section selects corresponding alphabet character, numeral from among character group according to numeric-key which is pressed secondly.
